How to find out age of a unit?

[FelixL]

Hi all,

I've only just started looking into property investment, and this forum is the most awesome place

As a start I am planning to get an cheap old unit that has reasonable rental yield , but I don't know how to find out the age of building (mainly so that I can factor in depreciation benefits) The contract seem to only show the date it was strata-ed. Where should I look?

Try the local shire, they should have dates that building permits were issued.

HI there
sometimes when you look in the electricity meter box - there are dates when the building was connected to the electricity supply which can give you a good indication of the date of the building
thanks

Thanks a lot for the information, I will try those methods on my next inspection
